SAMUEL GISSINGER, OF MANCHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA.

IMPROVEMENT lN CHURNS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 4|,429, dated February2, 1864.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL GISSINGER, of Manchester, in the county ofAllegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and ImprovedChurn; and I do hereby declare that the following is a'full and exactdescription thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

The nature of my invention consists in an arrangement of wings, disk,breakers, and dashers, arranged, constructed, and operating in themanner hereinafter described.

To enableothers skilled in the art to make i and use my invention, Iwill proceed to de scribe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 represents a side or face view ofthe churn. Fig. 2 represents a cut or sectional View of the same.

Inthe drawings, a represents the body of the churn.

1) represents the hoops or bands.

0 represents the lid to which is attached the stand or support g of theshaft 7" and drivingwheel 6. On the upper end of the stand or support 9is a guide, 1, for the stem is of the piece a. in which is a slot, to,in which is placed a pin, 3 which is attached to the driving wheel 0.The lower side of the piece to is furnished with a socket, 'v, in whichis secured the upper end of the staff j of the dashers l and 0, whichare connected by means of the pieces 12. The disk m is attached to thestem n, u hich passes through an opening in the dasher 0, and is securedto and in the crosspiece 8 of the wings q. The lower end of the stem atis fitted into a step, 8, which is secured in the center of the bottomof the churn. The staft'j of the dashers l and 0 passes up through anopening madein the upper cross-bar, r, of the wings q, and also passesthrough an opening in the center of the pinion d, the hub of which issecured to the crossbar r by means of steady-pins or other device. trepresents the breakers, which are secured to the sides of the churn.

The manner of constructing the churn and its various parts will bereadily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, and byreference to the description of its operation, which is as follows: Byturning the cranki motion is imparted to the driving-wheel e, which willimpart motion-to the pinion d, which will impart a corresponding(revolving) motion to the wings q, disk m, and its stem at.

The pin y in the slot to ot'the piece w will give to the dashers Z and 0an up-and-down or plunging motion. Thus, the milk and cream is thrown upand down against the revolving disk at by the dashers l and 0, whichwill cause the milk or cream to be thrown out in currents against thesides of the churn, and the wings q in sweeping around will strike thesecurrents and throw the milk or cream against the breakers t, and therebymost effectually and thoroughly agitate and break up the milk or creamand produce butter in a very short time.

The size and form and manner of constructing the churn and its variousparts I leave to 'the. good judgment and skill of the mechanic.

Having thus described the nature, construction, and operation of myimprovement, what l claim as of my invention is- The combination andarrangement of the wings q, disk m, breakers t, and dashers l and 0,constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner and by the meansherein described, and for the purpose set forth.

SAMUEL GISSINGER.
